Tiger Schurmann Leadership

I use to work for an organization where the owner always thought his way was the right way. He never took any one advice or ideas, he felt that because he was the boss his way was right. The way he ran his organization made it very difficult for anyone to work for him. In James Clawson Level Three of Leadership Chapter 22 pg 295. A leader who pays careful attention to that fact and includes more people who are going to be better armed to avoid unintended consequences. He never followed this concept if he was willing to get feedback and suggestion from his employees it would have help his organization a lot. He was a Level One leader he didn’t care too much about how anyone felt, he just wanted you to come do your job.

Leadership styles can be compared within any movie. I have chosen to compare the Disney movies Lion King and Toy Story 3. The stories of loss, triumph and family transcend time and easily highlight the different types of leadership styles of its primary and secondary characters. Lion King is a coming of age story battle between Simba the heir and the brother to the deposed king for control over the animal pride lands. Toy Story 3 is a continuation of events with the human Andy and the story of what happens to his toys as he is grown up and going off to college, what will happen to the toys now? There are many leadership styles within both movies but I have chosen to compare the four primary characters within these movies; Lion Kings bothers Mufasa and Scar and Toy Story 3 Woody and Lotso and integrate the lessons into the development of army leaders.

There was a river. The first time I went to my aunt’s farm in rural China I was seven, and the only memory I could recall was the powerful, roaring river I needed to cross. There was a river. The second time I visited their farm, I also saw how all the local farmers and various other farming conglomerates used the river to develop the land and feed the thirsty quinoa and corn. There was a river. I went to her farm once again this past summer, and was shocked to see that the once strong and raging river was reduced to nothing more than a trickling stream due to overuse and a worsening environmental climate. She was forced to move to the impoverished city of ChiFeng and now has to do menial labor for her meager three dollars an hour.

Student leaders are vital to the Kingswood community because they bridge the gap between students and teachers. They are also role models and inspire younger students to become leaders themselves or to further participate in the many opportunities offered at Kingswood. I have always particularly valued the role of house leaders because their position falls outside of the mainstream academic focus and is not limited to a particular year level. They have a unique opportunity to unite and inspire a wide range of students from all areas of the school through a range of sporting and performing arts events.

The purpose of this paper is to address how I, SSG Schumacher, have identified Major Robert Rogers as a legacy leader and a leader of influence in my military career as a non-commissioned officer and member of the military intelligence community. This paper will cover four main topics, in which I will first discuss a brief history of the life of Major Rogers, then, his impact on the evolution of warfare. Afterwards, I will identify his impact on leadership attributes in the United States Army. Finally, I will discuss how his leadership attributes led to him making an impact on the military today and Soldiers such as myself.

In the Leadership Challenge, 4th edition, it is Kouzes & Posner (2007) intention to present a road map for individuals to follow on their leadership journey. The authors stress that “leadership is not a gene and it’s not an inheritance.” Leadership they assert is “an identifiable set of skills and abilities that are available to all of us” (p. 23). They make clear that the “great person” theory of leadership is “plain wrong.” Leaders are our everyday heroes who do extraordinary things on a regular basis (p. 23).

Imagine, you are hundreds of mile from your home standing tall on the green countryside atop a hill overlooking a beautiful valley below. It is the summer of 1863 and you are at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania positioned on a place called “Little Round Top” and you are the commander of the Union Troops during the American Civil War. You have been battling against the Confederate forces as they charge against your troops over and over again, your supplies have been exhausted, and your troops are out of ammunition. As the leader, you give the instruction to fix bayonets and charge down the hill toward the Confederate soldiers, is a final attempt to halt there advances. To the surprise of the Confederate forces, seeing the charging Union troops, panic struck and the Confederate forces retreated.

I think this servant leadership’s experience represents a model of genuine servant leadership for many reasons. The first reason, in my opinion, this medical obstacle started with an impossible situation in and finished with outstanding successful results, not just for Schmitt’s son, but for hundreds of sick people. A glimmer of hope is the title of this experience in my opinion. Inspiration is an obvious and effective factor in this experience. Also, simplicity is another obvious factor in this experience which gave anyone a chance to overcome any kind of obstacles. Schmitt utilized another aspect by being proactive and brave to share his challenge with people who thought they could do something. This kind of servant leadership could

I think that at some time everyone has encouraged or talked with someone else about which path they should follow, whether it should be one of a career, or a vocation. In dealing with those around me, it would depend on their situation, and whether this is a short term goal, as it can be with a certain career, or whether they have the means to follow their own heart as in choosing a vocation. Using these criteria, I would probably do things a little differently, considering what I now understand about servant leadership.

According to Bruce Avolio, “What we have clearly learned is that leaders who can balance transactional and transformational leadership across time, situations, and challenges are the most effective” (Avolio 2011, 49). “People have a greater sense of ownership at the highest levels in terms of identification and are willing to provide the extra effort needed to succeed” (Avolio 2011, 49). Yet, Rusty Ricketson wrote, “Those who embrace the followerfirst perspective are not dependent on titles or positions in order to gain a sense of identity and worth. They understand that good leaders are good followers” (Ricketson 2014, 197). Although Avolio supports Full Range Leadership and Ricketson support Following-Leaders there are both

Strong leadership is vital to the success of any business, institution, school, team, or even church. Leaders that are considered effective encompass a leadership style and qualities that work to influence and motivate their followers. Joel Osteen, an evangelical pastor from Houston, Texas is truly one of the 21st centuries most captivating leaders. So much so, that he as selected by Barbara Walters as one of her 10 Most Fascinating People of 2016 (ABC News, 2006). His appeal is a phenomenon that is unmatched by any other current leaders in his profession. Over the past 15 years he has built a church, where he ministers one of the largest and most diverse congregations in America (Romano, 2005). Aside from his 45,000 attendees at his weekly services, his sermon is broadcasted in every television market in the United States and in over 100 other nations around the world (“About Joel,” n.d.). Joel Osteen is a prime example of a compelling leader who practices an effective leadership style that resonates with people on a personal level.

Several years ago, when I was five years-old, I watched the movie The Karate Kid (1984) starring Ralph Macchio as the bullied teen who comes out of his shell, having mastered a form of martial arts. At that tender age, I was impressed by the fact that such a mousy adolescent came out of his shell in such an impacting way. Mr. Miyagi (played by Pat Morita) was especially impressive with his quiet demeanor and extraordinary martial arts skills. The movie was a bit old-fashioned, but I loved it! Although I was never bullied, I knew that I wanted to be just like Daniel Larusso, the character that Ralph Macchio played: strong and disciplined. So when the chance came along to join a martial arts class came along, I grabbed it. I started taking classes

James MacGregor Burns said it best, “Leadership is leaders inducing followers to act for certain goals that represent the values and the motivations-the wants and needs, the aspirations and expectations-of both leaders and followers. And the genius of leadership lies in the manner in which leaders see and act on their own and their fellow 's values and motivations”. As one reads this statement, one naturally reflects on personal leader experiences or ones learned through academic or professional studies. Abraham Lincoln, especially during his presidency, exemplified Burns definition of a leader.

Leadership has played a valuable role throughout history in countless leaders and even followers. Although some of the greatest leaders in history lead for a more notorious cause, the leadership skills they conveyed and followed were key to the success of their goal and accomplishments. I believe Oskar Schindler was a great leader for many reasons because of how he dealt with the Nazi party during the Holocaust and how he adapted to change and from that change resulted in saving over a thousand Jews from death. Oskar Schindler shows how sometimes a leader has to change his values and therefore his actions to accommodate the surroundings and situation. As a result to this change
